Dr Nana Ayew Afriye, the Member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore, has labelled the Rev Owusu Bempah, Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, as a ‘false prophet’.
The NPP MP made this remark when he spoke in an interview on Asempa FM on September 9, 2026.
It will be recalled that Rev Owusu Bempah openly declared his intention to prevent Dr Mahamudu Bawumia from gaining political power.
He warned that the NPP has no chance of winning the 2028 general election.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, August 9, 2026, Rev Owusu Bempah pledged to take active steps to prevent the NPP from returning to power, saying, “So far as I’m alive, I won’t sit down for Bawumia to win power and come and disturb Christianity. I will curse anyone who votes for the NPP.”
He also pointed to a personal disagreement with the party as one of the reasons behind his position.
Rev Owusu Bempah insisted that, due to what the NPP did to him, he would devote himself to ensuring the party’s collapse.
However, Dr Ayew Afriyie reacted to the development when asked about Reverend Owusu-Bempah’s recent statements and his prophecy concerning the NPP.
Dr Ayew Afriyie stated, “OB, forget about that false prophet. Forget about him. He is intimidating people. Read your Bible and get it right.”
In related news, A group calling itself Action Movement for Bawumia has issued a stern warning to the leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Owusu Bempah.
The Pro-Bawumia group accused Rev Owusu Bempah of engaging in “pulpit blackmail and extortion” to solicit favours from the NPP and its flagbearer.
According to the pro-Bawumia group, Rev Owusu Bempah must stop his attacks on New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, or he will face their response.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, the group stated, “REVEREND OWUSU BEMPAH ENGAGES IN CALCULATED PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PULPIT BLACKMAIL AGAINST DR MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA AND THE NPP
Reverend Owusu Bempah has of late developed a despicable habit of using his pulpit almost every Sunday in his church to attack Dr Bawumia for no tangible reason. We, the admirers of Dr Bawumia, advise you to be very careful with your callous attacks on the person of Dr Bawumia.
We, the admirers of Dr Bawumia, consider the attacks by Reverend Owusu Bempah on the person of Dr Bawumia as psychological and pulpit blackmail intended to solicit unknown favours from the NPP and its Flagbearer. Reverend Owusu Bempah is trying very hard to force religious discussions into Dr Bawumia’s presidential bid for the 2028 elections.
We advise Rev. Owusu Bempah not to start a problem he cannot handle when it finally gets out of hand. We know you have problems with the former IGP Dampare, who had you arrested and arraigned before court when you had issues with Agrada. Do not extend your personal problems with IGP Dampare to the innocent Dr Bawumia.
If you want to be respected as a pastor, you must bear in mind that Dr Bawumia has admirers and supporters across the country and beyond. We consider your constant attacks on Dr Bawumia a despicable attitude unbecoming of a man of God.
Please, Rev. Owusu Bempah, do not start what you cannot handle. You must re-examine your recent despicable attitude regarding how you unfairly attack Dr Bawumia in your church almost every Sunday. You are using the holy pulpit to blackmail an innocent man who has done you no wrong.
Please, Rev. Owusu Bempah, desist from the unwarranted, consistent bigotry and psychological blackmail directed at Dr Bawumia, in the interest of the peace and religious cohesion Ghana currently enjoys. It appears you are seriously prejudiced and obsessed with your attacks on Dr Bawumia.
A word to the wise should be enough. You must yield to good counsel.
Issued by the Action Movement for Bawumia”
